Dim instance As SpreadChart
Dim value As String
 
instance.CategoryFormula = value
 
value = instance.CategoryFormula
C# 
public virtual string CategoryFormula {get; set;}

This property is not designed for persisting so you should save and re-use the value and access infrequently.

Example

This example sets the CategoryFormula property.
